Dear Mr. Smurfman,
I have found this innocent little boy that has ran away from his abusive father. The boy does not know that i know who he really is. I feel as though i should keep and take care of him, but i'm not sure if turning him over to the authorities is the right thing to do. What do you think i should do Mr. Smurfman?
Well Jane, if the boy had the guts to run away from his father, out into the world alone, then i reckon it was for a good reason. I'm sure i would rather have a nice caring mother than a drunken, abusive father.

Dear Mr.Smurfman,
Times are tough, i'm a traveling entertainer and i have been having no luck in bringing home the bacon the past few weeks. I have this here run away niger, thats worth $200 if i take him up river about 300 miles to his owner. I was made an offer of forty dollars on the spot if i sold him in the area i'm in now. What should i do?
Well John, i'm no fan of slavery, so i would tell you to take him north. But if you must sell him, i would tell you to take the forty dollars. Seeing that you wouldn't have enough money to make a journey back up the river.
